A stalker with deadly intent . . .
A woman who protects children . . .
An ex-Navy SEAL turned police detective.

Social worker Alison Taylor has a passion for protecting children. But now it seems she needs protecting. When her tormentor's attentions take a violent turn, she calls in reinforcements--her police-detective brother, Cole, and his new partner, ex-Navy SEAL Mitch Morgan. As her relentless stalker turns up the heat and the danger intensifies, Mitch takes a personal interest in the case. Because protecting Alison has become more than a job; his future depends on keeping her safe.

Filled with nail-biting suspense and heart-melting romance, Deadly Pursuit is Irene Hannon's storytelling at its very best.

MY THOUGHTS:
I loved Fatal Judgment, the first book in this series (my review is here), so it was with eager anticipation that I began reading this one. Be prepared to stay up into the wee hours, because Irene Hannon has written another heart-pounding winner. Once again she oh-so-slowly escalates the suspense and tension of this story, giving enough of a glimpse of Alison's stalker that I practically wanted to crawl into the book to tell Mitch and Cole how to catch him! This novel is a perfect balance of romance and suspense, and the addition of the sibling sparring between Alison and her brothers enhances the story. Irene Hannon has secured a spot on my keeper shelf and I look forward to more of her work.
